In 2005, "The Best of THE NEW SCOOBY DOO MOVIES" was released on DVD by Warner Home Video. It contained 15 of the series' 24 episodes; as Paul mentioned, licensing/clearance issues caused the other 9 episodes to be omitted. Don Knotts' two episodes are included in the DVD set. Boomerang continues to keep this series in play; sister channel Cartoon Network has done so in the past. For interested TAGS fans, opportunities to record Don's episodes are there.
